Zechariah 9
1 “This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning the land of Hadrak and Damascus, its resting place; for the eyes of all humanity and all the tribes of Israel are toward Yahweh.
耶和華的默示應驗在哈得拉地大馬士革 －世人和以色列各支派的眼目都仰望耶和華－
2 This declaration also concerns Hamath, which borders on Damascus, and it concerns Tyre and Sidon, for they are very wise.
和靠近的哈馬，並泰爾、西頓； 因為這二城的人大有智慧。
3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust and refined gold like mud in the streets.
泰爾為自己修築保障， 積蓄銀子如塵沙， 堆起精金如街上的泥土。
4 Look! The Lord will dispossess her and destroy her strength on the sea, so she will be devoured by fire.
主必趕出她， 打敗她海上的權利； 她必被火燒滅。
5 Ashkelon will see and be afraid! Gaza also will tremble greatly! Ekron, her hopes will be disappointed! The king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall no longer be inhabited!
亞實基倫看見必懼怕； 迦薩看見甚痛苦； 以革倫因失了盼望蒙羞。 迦薩必不再有君王； 亞實基倫也不再有居民。
6 Strangers will make their homes in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
私生子必住在亞實突； 我必除滅非利士人的驕傲。
7 For I will remove their blood from their mouths and their abominations from between their teeth. Then they will become a remnant for our God like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will become like the Jebusites.
我必除去他口中帶血之肉 和牙齒內可憎之物。 他必作為餘剩的人歸與我們的上帝， 必在猶大像族長； 以革倫人必如耶布斯人。
8 I will camp around my land against enemy armies, so no one can pass through or return, for no oppressor will overrun them, for now I see with my own eyes!
我必在我家的四圍安營， 使敵軍不得任意往來， 暴虐的人也不再經過， 因為我親眼看顧我的家。
9 Shout with great joy, daughter of Zion! Shout with happiness, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold! Your king is coming to you with righteousness and is rescuing you. He is humble and is riding on a donkey, on the colt of a donkey.
錫安的民哪，應當大大喜樂； 耶路撒冷的民哪，應當歡呼。 看哪，你的王來到你這裏！ 他是公義的，並且施行拯救， 謙謙和和地騎着驢， 就是騎着驢的駒子。
10 Then I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow will be cut off from battle; for he will speak peace to the nations, and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
我必除滅以法蓮的戰車 和耶路撒冷的戰馬； 爭戰的弓也必除滅。 他必向列國講和平； 他的權柄必從這海管到那海， 從大河管到地極。
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the pit where there is no water.
錫安哪，我因與你立約的血， 將你中間被擄而囚的人從無水的坑中釋放出來。
12 Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! Even today I am declaring that I will return double to you,
你們被囚而有指望的人都要轉回保障。 我今日說明，我必加倍賜福給你們。
13 for I have bent Judah as my bow. I have filled my quiver with Ephraim. I have roused your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and have made you, Zion, like a warrior's sword!”
我拿猶大作上弦的弓； 我拿以法蓮為張弓的箭。 錫安哪，我要激發你的眾子， 攻擊希臘的眾子，使你如勇士的刀。
14 Yahweh will appear to them, and his arrows will shoot out like lightning! For my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet and will advance with the storms from Teman.
耶和華必顯現在他們以上； 他的箭必射出像閃電。 主耶和華必吹角， 乘南方的旋風而行。
15 Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour them and defeat the stones of the slings. Then they will drink and shout like men drunk on wine, and they will be filled with wine like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
萬軍之耶和華必保護他們； 他們必吞滅仇敵，踐踏彈石。 他們必喝血吶喊，猶如飲酒； 他們必像盛滿血的碗， 又像壇的四角滿了血。
16 So Yahweh their God will rescue them on that day, as the flock of his people. They are the jewels of a crown that will shine on his land.
當那日，耶和華－他們的上帝 必看他的民如群羊，拯救他們； 因為他們必像冠冕上的寶石， 高舉在他的地以上。
17 How good and how beautiful they will be! The young men will flourish on grain and the virgins on sweet wine!”
他的恩慈何等大！ 他的榮美何其盛！ 五穀健壯少男； 新酒培養處女。
